Heavy metal (HM) toxicity has become a global concern in recent years and is imposing a
severe threat to the environment and human health. In the case of plants, a higher …

Cadmium accumulation in crops and the possibility of Cd entering the food chain are serious
concerns for public health. This review discusses the deleterious effects of Cd in plants and …

Key message Recent updates in JA biosynthesis, signaling pathways and the crosstalk
between JA and others phytohormones in relation with plant responses to different stresses …

Plants as immovable organisms sense the stressors in their environment and respond to
them by means of dedicated stress response pathways. In response to stress, jasmonates …

Abiotic stresses are the primary sources of crop losses globally. The identification of key
mechanisms deployed and established by plants in response to abiotic stresses is …

Lead (Pb) is a toxic heavy metal (HM) that harms plant growth and productivity.
Phytohormones, such as jasmonic acid (JA) and salicylic acid (SA), and osmoprotectants …

The current status of changing climate has become a significant threat to the global
production of horticultural crops. Phytohormones play a crucial role in providing a …

Fe is the fourth abundant element in the earth crust. Fe toxicity is not often discussed in plant
science though it causes severe morphological and physiological disorders, including …

Nanoparticles (NPs) are increasingly used as agrochemical components through foliar
spraying such as foliage fertilizers or pesticides. However, the understanding of the …

The phytohormone jasmonic acid (JA), a cyclopentane fatty acid, mediates plant responses
to abiotic stresses. Abiotic stresses rapidly and dynamically affect JA metabolism and JA …
